Inside the Supply Chain and Purchasing Industry

Our November bulletin confirms an earlier trend

First reported in our Summer edition, for Supply professionals with Manufacturing and Engineering perspectives. Our latest Manufacturing Engineer opportunity is for a returning client located in the Ottawa area (Job – 880). Similar roles are for a Manufacturing Engineering Manager in Barrie (job – 857), and a Plastics Resin Buyer in Toronto (job – 868), ideally with a Chemical Engineering perspective, familiar with compounds such as HDPE, PP, PCABS, TFO, TPV nylon, fillers, compounds, you name it!

“The economy is quite robust and firms continue to scramble to upgrade procurement systems, processes, and acumen in their Supply Chain departments” adds Tim Moore, President of Tim Moore Associates. “Again, the biggest difference, is that we’re gaining multiple orders within the same company, as firms are growing rapidly and making strategic improvements in the Supply area, whilst others are dealing with retirement issues.” (Also reported in recent interviews with Tim Moore in both Supply Chain and Purchasing B2B magazines – October editions).

“We’re also noticing a strong uptick in short term, temporary, and contract roles, as firms are eagerly trying to put Supply processes and cost savings improvements into place to deal with the new increasing demands for their products and services – without necessarily adding to their permanent ‘head count,’ according to Tim.
